America’s tap water is contaminated with toxic heavy metals, synthetic organic chemicals, chlorination by-products, biological parasites and virtually thousands of harmful contaminants.

“E.P.A. reports show that U.S. water supplies contain over 2300 cancer causing chemicals…” – Ralph Nader Research Group  

Studies also show that bottled water isn’t any purer than tap water, it simply costs more. Most quality home water purification products can provide water far superior to bottled water, at a fraction of the cost and in the convenience of your own home. The intention of this site is to promote the use of home water filtration, show what products are available and how to determine which ones are the best. Our goal is to also increase basic awareness of this critically important subject.

In America’s highly industrialized society we use over 80,000 toxic chemicals every day, and over 1000 new ones are being developed every year. We are learning the hard way that all of the chemicals we use, will ultimately show up in the water we drink. There is no “new water”, this planet keeps recycling the same water over and over. As we use more synthetic chemicals, the levels in our water supplies increases proportionately.

In contrast to popular belief, our water treatment facilities were not designed to take out synthetic organic chemicals and toxic heavy metals like lead. Municipal water treatment today is essentially the same as it was over 100 years ago, the water is flown through sand beds to remove visible particles and then bleach (chlorine) is added to kill most of the bacteria! We do not filter out the synthetic chemicals!

75 years ago, before all of these chemicals were present in our environment, 1 out of 50 Americans would get cancer in their lives… now, 1 in 3 Americans… 1 in 2 males, will become cancer victims! 1 in 8 women get breast cancer, childhood cancers have increased 300% in just the last 20 years… and much of this can be linked to the accumulation of man made chemicals in our body.

Cancer is not natural, it’s a man made disease, and for the most part… completely preventable. The purity of our water is one of the most critical factors in the prevention of cancer and other degenerative diseases. Water is our body’s only means of purifying its self. If our water already contains chemical contaminants, our body is not able to use it to its full benefit. When the risk is so great and the solution is so simple… why chance it?

In-home water purification is the most effective, by far the most convenient and most economical means of providing clean, healthy water for you and your family.

“Healthy water” is the best health insurance we can get… and home water purification is the best way to get it… possibly the only way.

Save money and GO GREEN!

Switching from bottled water to home water filtration is one of the fastest, easiest and most impactful steps we can take to save money and help the planet!

The facts are clear:

  • Home water filtration offers better quality water than bottled.
  • Home water filtration is 1/10th the cost of bottled.
  • Home water filtration is far more convenient, “Pure water on tap!”
  • Home water filtration is virtually pollution free!

Over 60,000,000 plastic bottles a day are disposed of in U.S. landfills from bottled water use.

Other than the direct impact of 30 billion plastic bottles a year being disposed of in U.S. landfills alone, bottled water negatively impacts our environment in many other ways. 17 billion barrels of oil are used each year to produce the 30 billion plastic bottles, producing some 2.5 billion tons of carbon dioxide pollution. It takes three times the amount of water to produce the bottle as it does to fill it. Not to mention the pollution from transporting heavy loads of bottled water all over the World!

Adding in transportation, the annual energy resources used on bottled water production and distribution comes to over 50 million barrels of oil, the equivalent to run 3 million cars for a year. And for what benefit?

Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent each week by bottled water companies to create the perception that bottled water comes from some magical pristine mountain spring or pure underground aquifer.

The plain truth is that most bottled water is little more than tap water in a bottle. The Federal regulations (FDA) that govern the quality of bottled water only apply if it is transported across state lines, and only require it to be “as good as” tap water, not better. 60-70% of bottled water companies bottle and sell the water in the same state to avoid Federal purity standards, thus avoiding complying with basic health standards, such as those that apply to municipally treated tap water! There are no assurances or requirements that bottled water be any safer or better than tap water.

The U.S. FDA says: “Companies that promote bottled water as being safer than tap water are defrauding the American public.”

In March of 1999, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) released a report called “Bottled Water: Pure Drink or Pure Hype?”

  • City tap water can have no confirmed E.Coli or fecal coliform bacteria. FDA bottled water rules include no such prohibition (a certain amount of any type of coliform bacteria is allowed in bottled water).
  • City tap water, from surface water, must be filtered and disinfected. In contrast, there are no federal filtration or disinfection requirements for bottled water.
  • Most cities using surface water have had to test for Cryptosporidium or Giardia, two common water pathogens, that can cause diarrhea and other intestinal problems, yet bottled water companies have no such test.
  • City tap water must meet standards for certain important toxic or cancer-causing chemicals, such as phthalate (a chemical that can leach from plastic, including plastic bottles); some in the industry persuaded FDA to exempt bottled water from the regulations regarding these chemicals.
  • City water systems must issue annual “right to know” reports, telling consumers what is in their water. Bottlers successfully killed a “right to know” requirement for bottled water.

“Therefore, while much tap water is indeed risky, having compared available data, we conclude that there is no assurance that bottled water is any safer than tap water.” — The Natural Resources Defense Council

The reality is that people pay from $1 to $4 a gallon for the perception of higher quality, when in fact, the quality of bottled water is at best an “unknown”!

Home water purification is by far the most economical, most convenient and most effective way of producing high quality, healthy water…and it’s the Green Solution!

Filtering out the chlorine, lead and other contaminants with a quality home water filtration system, at the point of use, just prior to consumption, is the best way to know for sure about the quality of your drinking water. It’s also the most economical and the most environmentally responsible. It’s the right choice!

culligan-pit-1-pitcher By now, we all understand how important water is to our daily health. So, what kind of water is the most appropriate for our consumption?
The options are generally:

tap water, bottled water, or filtered water.

Tap Water

The quality of tap water is on a downward trend. Experts say that tap water has consistently worsened due to environmental damage and industrial pollution. Some communities have it worse than others (see an LA Times article regarding the contaminants in tap water).

Although some of the contaminants do not cause immediate disease, it is proven that consistent consumption over time can cause serious illness, such as cancer. It is interesting to note that most municipal water supplies use chemicals, such as chlorine and fluoride, which are toxic and proven to negatively affect humans.

Bottled Water

Although bottled water is generally much safer than tap water, the quality of bottled water should also be questioned. Experts believe 20-40% of bottled water is not filtered appropriately, if at all.

According to an article written by Bureau Chief Greg Lucas of Sacramento, one-third of bottled water contains contaminants. Even when it is filtered well, the packaging may not be safe.

“Of greater concern in the WWFN study is bottled water’s negative impact on the environment. Packaging materials are often environmentally unfriendly in and of themselves.” (Envirnomental & Climate News, July 2001 previously posted at http://www.heartland.org/environment/jul01/bottled.htm)

It is true that some bottled water has been purified properly, but at what cost to the consumer? Bottled water consumers spend up to ten times more on bottled water than they would for water that is filtered as good or better than the bottled water.

On average, a home filtration system is approximately 80% less money per gallon than bottled. At that rate, it doesn’t take very long for savings to add up.

Bottled water consumers also miss out on the simple convenience of drawing drinking water from their faucet. Instead they have to transport large quantities of heavy bottled water.

Some consumers prefer bottled water because of the portability of small bottles. However, for pennies per gallon, they could instead use a water bottle filter.

As you consider the benefits of a safer, more economical, and more convenient alternative to bottled water, it is clear that a home filtration system is the most sensible choice.
